The second half last night will be remember for the fact that right back Mikael Lustig came within the width of the crossbar of scoring a hat-trick, while left back Emilio Izaguirre also hit the crossbar – and was caught offside in the centre forward position. The movement and energy levels required for this type of performance cannot be overestimated.
Adam Matthews’ goal on Saturday, when he burst a lung to cover half the field and get on the end of a move as it developed on the opposite wing, is another example of how physically taxing playing for Celtic is right now. And just as importantly, how taxing it is to play against them.
Motherwell competed as best they could before hitting the wall and capitulating.
Kano
I knew the minutes’ applause for Kano was coming last night, but it was a hard moment nonetheless. Sannabhoy read a letter at halftime from Martin’s wife, Carolyn, explaining the family’s appreciation for what the Celtic family did for them.
It’s appropriate for us to return our respect to Kano’s family, and to Sannabhoy and his Kano Foundation colleagues. They got the charity work ball rolling for so many of us. They gave us the opportunity to aspire to become better people.
There’s a link at the bottom of the article to sign-up for CQN11, where the work to build another school kitchen in Malawi goes on. You are part of an incredible community. Be there.
Just a brief note on Honest Dave King’s recent claims. He will become a director of newco Rangers in the event the forthcoming EGM votes him so. I’ve no doubt he will be able to find a NomAd to work with him, not all have the same standards, allowing the company to retain its listed status with him as a director.
It is also true that the SFA cannot stop him becoming a director. They do not have a Fit and Proper test, they have fit and proper criteria, which directorial appointments are measured against after they are appointed.
Despite all we’ve seen in come out of Hampden over the last few years, I would be amazed if the SFA board approved a tax convict and former director of a club which broke tax law, player registration rules and went into liquidation. It’s not even a remotely tenable suggestion.
After the event, the SFA would be in a position to penalise newco Rangers – most probably through a fine – and instruct them to dismiss King. King, of course, has all the humility and self-awareness required to apologise and resign without a fuss. There’s no way he would use his well-marshalled media campaign to try what Craig Whyte and Charles Green did before him – play to the gallery, blame all his ills on an ‘anti-Rangers’ conspiracy.
Note how the media campaign is rolling out King comment and press releases as definitive news, not subjective claims. Note also that Easdale press releases are being covered by the media, but that pantomime-hate figure, Jack Irvine, is being attributed as the source.
Note that Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias are saying nothing. They’re just going about their business. You don’t need crystal balls to see how this one is going to end.
CQN11 St Patrick’s Day Dinner Dance is on Friday 13 March, at the Kerrydale Suite, Celtic Park. The focus of an excellent night’s entertainment will be funding the construction of a kitchen at Chibwata Primary School in Malawi, for Mary’s Meals.

From that, are we to assume you’re against bringing him in?
In terms of scoring goals per minutes on the pitch, he’s streets ahead of our other strikers.

My comment was made more in defence of the much maligned loan system rather than JG.
I like him, but wouldn’t loose any sleep if we didn’t get him permanently.
hes not as good as he thinks he is.
Not guilty!!!!
The Rangers goalkeeper Simmonsen issued with notice of complaint for breaching betting regulations….. Starting to believe in Karma.

Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
55 games I believe, just the ones they could prove obviously.
HH
LB-Patrick Bamford?
Lennybhoy
I can only see two Chelsea loaneesat Middlesborough, both are defenders. The Nigerian, Kenneth Omeruo, and the Czech, Tomas Kalas.
Who is the striker?
The undead’s goalkeeper has been charged by SFA with gambling shock!!
Bada Bing/ Lennybhoy
Apologies- Bada has supplied the answer.
Cue a raft of hun apologists saying the rules are wrong again,Wishart being the leader off…
Parkheadcumsalford
What was the odds on that happening

Simonsen put his mortgage on the huns getting pumped senseless next sunday.
Easy money.
Bamford and blackman are at boro on loan.
Blackman not good as a striker though. Unless he comes up for corners. :)
I’d be surprised and delighted to see pb inte hoops.
Will be interesting to see what happens to him.
After the Black thing, no excuses this time, personally I would birch him………
HH
Sevco keeper charged with gambling,he had a punt on Mctrowell chucking it.:):)
“I have 2 bricks and they are not for sale at any price!”

The move will spark speculation that Mr Ashley is either planning a major deal or is trying to find ways to lower his tax bill.”

Any chance the two could be related?!

That’s the spirit:-)

Or King being passed as fit and proper by the SFA!
No more loan strikers please,a failure of the scouting dept. IMO
Doc
Good news about you good lady.
Best wishes

I have heard that goalie was told to attend the managers office to discus his gambling, recent reports say that he has been sitting in the office for ten days now on his own.

Why do you object to the ` bonus culture` ??

A `clownshoe` . What does that mean?
JJ
Certainty other Huns were gambling when Black wasn’t sacked!
Idiots
Funny for us though.
LB
any funny stuff on ff monaghan?
Disappointed in the news on John G but not because I think he’s top drawer. We desperately need a finisher, someone who will score 25 + a season. John G has the potential to be that striker but apart from a few flashes he’s not shown the consistency needed.
It’s certainly his prerogative to wait until April/May to see what else might be available to him but this attitude should be enough for Ronny and Celtic to remove any offer we’ve made. I’d hope we would now go after another (more committed) striker in this window and then send John G back to Man City Asap!
HH!
